Leadership Oakland proudly announces its affiliation with The Michigan Women’s Marketplace, one of the key online resources for women business owners in Michigan.

The Michigan Women's Marketplace is Michigan's online resource for women business owners and those supporting woman-owned businesses. By providing a comprehensive Women's Business Directory, statewide Events Calendar, a list of business resources, and an online Training Center, the Michigan Women's Marketplace believes that women business owners, women business organizations, and corporations will benefit from increased online exposure. 

In an effort to support women business owners, The Michigan Women’s Marketplace is focused on:
 
- Developing the most comprehensive list of Michigan women business owners 
- Promoting events sponsored by women business organization partners 
- Exposing women business owners to the variety of services provided by the women business organization partners
- Providing links to the most prominent business resource websites 
- Hosting an online Training Center equipped with interactive message boards, polls, and expert articles written by prominent women business owners
- Through its policies and practices, the Michigan Women's Marketplace works for the sustainable development of the women's business community in Michigan.

Leadership Oakland recognizes the need for resources that are designed to enhance networking opportunities between Michigan business owners. Already there has been a tremendous response to the increased online exposure that LO has received due to membership into the Michigan Women’s Marketplace. While Leadership Oakland strives to connect today’s developing leaders in order to shape tomorrow’s community, the Michigan Women’s Marketplace seeks to raise awareness, exposure and unity among women business owners. The resulting affiliation between the two organizations will provide current class members and alums with even more networking and growth opportunities.
